Nice Cephalotus! Need to get one myself, but I want to wait until I am sure I can keep it alive.

And then cobra lily and heliamphora and I will have all the pitcher plants!

It seems to be starting a bit of a growth spurt, so I am hoping it will be filling out a lot more in the coming months. The ceph has been surprisingly easy to grow compared to what I had expected. It may just be the clone that I have though.

Be careful when you get a heli or ceph though, they will likely make you want more of them .

...And that's an expensive addiction!

That is very true, unless you start off with a juvenile plant. At least that is more often the case with helis from what I have seen (obviously that doesn't apply to all of them though).

The plants are beautiful. They are well cared for when you were going. Is it on automatic or did someone take good care for your plants?

Thanks tish! Thankfully I had someone topping off the water in the trays each day, and the terrarium can go a few weeks without needing anything.

Ohh nice to know that!

I found that one of my VFT's started growing faster along with my D. filiformis, so it looks like I will have photos of those with new growth soon. I will say the D. filiformis and the Drosera 'dreamsicle' have some massive growth spurts coming out of dormancy. Hopefully that will be the last of the plants trying to emerge from dormancy early since I am out of space that has light. It should be the last of them since those were the only plants that seemed to go dormant early outdoors.

Here is my indoor growing area for the most part. It doesn't include the fridge partially taken up by dormant Sarracenia (that I recently started going through), or the other plants dormant on a cold windowsill. I'm certainly looking forward to digging a bog this year to free up space indoors for other plants. It really isn't as disorganized as it looks .

Love the setup, especially those birds on that poster in the background!

is that your kitchen?

Thanks! That poster has been helpful in identifying some of the many birds that migrate through the area .

Nope, it is the basement, though some plants in the kitchen would be nice . The counter and cabinets were cut wrong and they were just going to be trashed, so they were free. It has made for a nice work space.

Thanks for sharing . Wow i would love to have a space like that. I'd got so many things I want to do and i can't .

There has been a noticeable increase in growth rate across my larger Sarracenia seedlings, along with increasingly larger pitchers each time . It definitely didn't take much time to notice an increase in the growth after the change to the fertilization.
